Enterprise agile transformation model: Barriers, enablers and best practices to implement Agile Methods

Abstract

Os Métodos Agile representam atualmente um dos temas mais discutidos nas organizações e equipas que trabalham com produtos tecnológicos. No entanto, ainda existe um conjunto reduzido de estudos científicos que expliquem, de uma forma clara, como uma organização pode adotar estes métodos. Esta tese apresenta três objetivos principais, onde foi desenvolvido um estudo para cada um: (i) identificar na literatura as melhores práticas para implementar e gerir um portefólio de projetos agile, (ii) identificar as barreiras e facilitadores de uma Transformação Agile e (iii) expandir um modelo teórico que permita conduzir as organizações a realizar uma Transformação Agile. O primeiro estudo recorreu à abordagem qualitativa para realizar a revisão sistemática da literatura. O segundo estudo utilizou uma abordagem quantitativa para identificar as barreiras e facilitadores. O terceiro estudo utilizou uma abordagem qualitativa para desenvolver o modelo teórico Enterprise Agile Transformation Model. Esta tese concluiu que, para a implementação e gestão de um portefólio de projetos agile, existem quatro dimensões relevantes a considerar. Foram também identificadas quatro barreiras e cinco facilitadores determinantes para o sucesso de uma Transformação Agile. Já o Enterprise Agile Transformation Model, considera ações para mitigar as barreiras e potenciar os facilitadores de uma Transformação Agile e apresenta recomendações para aumentar a maturidade ágil das organizações. A contribuição académica consiste em colmatar a lacuna existente na literatura científica sobre Transformações Agile e gestão de portefólio de projetos agile. Para a prática, a contribuição passa por dar ferramentas, estratégias e recomendações para a implementação de Métodos Agile nas organizações.

Agile Methods currently represent one of the most discussed topics in organisations and teams working with technological products. However, there are still few scientific studies that clearly explain how an organisation can adopt these methods. This thesis has three main objectives, where was developed a study for each: (i) identify in the literature the best practices to implement and manage an agile project portfolio, (ii) identify the barriers and enablers of an Agile Transformation and (iii) expand a theoretical model that allows organisations to carry out an Agile Transformation. The first study used a qualitative approach to carry out a systematic literature review. The second study used a quantitative approach to identify the barriers and enablers. The third study used a qualitative approach to develop the Enterprise Agile Transformation Model. This thesis concluded that, for the implementation and management of an agile portfolio of projects, there are four relevant dimensions to consider. The key four barriers and five enablers for the success of an Agile Transformation were also identified. The Enterprise Agile Transformation Model considers actions to mitigate barriers and enhance the enablers of an Agile Transformation and provides recommendations to increase the agile maturity of organisations. The academic contribution focuses on filling the gap in the scientific literature on Agile Transformations and Agile Project Portfolio Management. For practice, the contribution involves providing a theoretical model with tools, strategies, and recommendations for the implementation of Agile Methods in organisations.
